The delicious tweet.

Peter Green, great guitarist, in the top 10 all time. "A Fool No More" is one of my favorites. Oh Well.

Tommy Duncan said...: One of my college fraternity brothers spent most of our sophomore year trying to learn to play the lead guitar part on Black Magic Woman. It was incredibly annoying. He was also an all conference college baseball pitcher and went on to become a nuclear engineer. Thanks for the memory recall.; 7/26/20, 5:46 PM

The animators NAILED the rendering of the typical suburban housing tract of the time. Good stuff and like really well written comedy - teaches some deep lessons regarding family, forgiveness and acceptance.; 7/26/20, 7:02 PM

One was gunned down in front of his store in Milwaukee. The other was stalked and stabbed in Portland by a white pedophile Antifa supporter.

Jersey Fled said...: Brookings Institute and its former president Strobe Talbott now implicated in Russia collusion hoax.

In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee accused the head of the Brookings Institution, Strobe Talbott, of being directly involved in the anti-Trump dossier and stated he is examining “the three ‘D’s” of the dossier: its development, dissemination, and defense. “They [the Brookings Institution] were involved for sure in the dissemination and for sure in the defense of the dossier. We just don’t know yet were they also involved in the development,” Nunes said, adding it would be a “major” part of the story.; 7/26/20, 8:35 PM
Jersey Fled said...: Watching Zero Zero Zero on Amazon Prime right now. It has Kind of quirky way of starting at th he end and flashing back to the beginning, but otherwise pretty cool.

Jersey Fled said...: Noticing that the BLM lawn signs are starting to disappear in my very blue neighborhood. Is their act starting to get too distasteful for even my suburban white female neighbors?

The No Home for Hate lawn signs lasted years. A few are even still up. BLM not so much.; 7/26/20, 8:48 PM
walter said...: Street in my town has a couple houses that face each other. One has a sign with Black Lives Matter on one side, Look Listen Learn on flip side.
The house across the street has a We back the badge sign.
About half way down the block is a house with a huge Canadian flag.
Is that your summer place, Ken B?; 7/26/20, 9:18 PM
stephen cooper said...: The Peter Green guitarist was absolutely amazing, as in "Clapton and B.B. King were probably jealous" level amazing, and the Peter Green classicist wrote some books that are very much worth reading, or at least browsing.

I think, IRL, the classicist was a little less into drugs, which is always a positive attribute one likes to see in one's friends, but my guess is both of them could be called fun people to be around most of the time.

BTW, I have noticed that some of the regular male commenters around here have become, for lack of a better word, worryingly negative in the last few months.
Nobody should ever care what a performance artist such as myself has to say about the state of someone else's soul, but I do have some advice, take it or leave it.

Whether you are a tough guy having some hard times, or someone who does not think they are tough having hard times -----
There are people who want to help you feel better about the world. Find one of them and talk to them. It worked for me again and again in years long gone - if you woke me up in the middle of the night and asked me to talk for hours and hours about all the wonderful people who cheered me up when I was down, or the people who let me know they cared when I had reason to feel little hope, I could go on and on for hours, not just until the morning, but all the way through the next day and the next night and until the morning after, and probably longer than that, with a little more Red Bull or coffee than would be good for me .....
and to tell the truth I have not really known all that many people in my long life.

Cor ad cor loquitur, as they say, and "God loves us all just the way we are, but loves us too much to let us stay that way", and then there is this -----

stay strong, because some day somebody will need you. and you want to be there that day, because no matter who you are, you have love in your heart, and you want to be there when you are needed.

(and if you really don't (think you have love in your heart anymore) ... well, if you ask, my very real guardian angel will pray for you so so hard that you will forget the time when you thought you didn't.)

but really none of this has anything to do with me. God is there, wanting to help, and you are where you are, and it has nothing to do with me or anyone else in the way that it has to do with you and your Creator. just ask God, with a humble heart, for strength.; 7/26/20, 9:21 PM
Big Mike said...: @Bill, Republic of Texas, Andy Ngo tweeted the aftermath of white Antifa member David Hempe stabbing Drew Duncomb, a black Trump supporter -- a video of Duncomb's friends administering a bit of street justice on Hempe before turning him over to the police.; 7/26/20, 9:48 PM

I had a glass of tequila just before I read that. Read it. Now, I'd like another tequila.

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: the IG Report says that the FBI had tentatively identified the 'primary sub source' as “Person 1” as early as October 2016, and that the FBI had an open investigation on him.
FBI waits about a year to interview him, for 3 days, and a couple times after.
They had to know by then what bs this was.

David Laufman from the DoJ gave Danchenko a "use immunity" deal.
What leverage did Danchenko have to wrangle the deal? His "social contacts"?
facebook friends like olga Galinka??
Laufman himself said his role was to develop a “cooperative relationship”.
Was Laufaman's deal to use him as a “Cooperating Human Source”,
and get dirt on Trump from his russian cronies?
Or was the deal to keep Danchenko from spilling the beans to the media that the whole thing was fake?; 7/26/20, 10:27 PM

enthusiasm
intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.
synonyms:
eagerness · keenness · ardor · fervor · warmth · passion · zeal · zealousness

c. 1600, from Middle French enthousiasme (16c.) and directly from Late Latin enthusiasmus, from Greek enthousiasmos "divine inspiration, enthusiasm (produced by certain kinds of music, etc.)," from enthousiazein "be inspired or possessed by a god, be rapt, be in ecstasy," from entheos "divinely inspired, possessed by a god," from en "in" (see en- (2)) + theos "god"; 7/26/20, 11:16 PM

I forget and hate wiki!), could knock his socks off - Pete Townsend, everyone's called 'Pete' - the point being Peter Green made one 'sweat'.; 7/27/20, 12:34 AM

The Crack Emcee said...: "Get married, stay married, blah blah, blah."

Here's an example of how easily a life can fly off the rails.

Look at this young man's reaction to the concept of taxes - really look at it. He's so pissed, he's CRYING. Imagine if he didn't have a family to explain it, as too many don't - as I didn't.

stevew said...: "Won't go into a list here, but the number of amazing guitarists from the mid 20th century is stunning and is not re-happening."

Very much agree with this, and I don't think it is "Back in my day" thinking.

One exception that comes to mind is Joe Bonamassa. Terrific guitar playing both technically and with a lot of feeling. Has a personal signature to his style too. Very creative and works like a dog (when allowed). There are other notables - Jack White, Gary Clark Jr., Dan Auerbach - but the shortness of the list pretty much makes your point.

Popular music these days is not centered on the guitar, so maybe that's the reason.; 7/27/20, 5:31 AM
